I am pleased to transmit the report from the Selection Panel recommending appointment of an Auditor General as identified in the confidential attachment. Toronto's Auditor General, Beverly Romeo-Beehler, was appointed by City Council at its June 2014 meeting for a non-renewable seven-year term. At its meeting of May 5, 2021, City Council adopted Item 2021.MM32.14, and in doing so determined to extend the term of the current Auditor General, on the same terms and conditions, to December 16, 2022, to permit the intervening recruitment of a new Auditor General.
